Sounds like you’ve had an adventure! I assume you made VIE but missed that planned connection?

Just in, another 10K avios for the broken wifi on the abortive LHR-NCL-LHR trip.
Havent quite gotten to the point of BA paying me to fly but think this is the closest ;) Trip was 28,000 Avios plus £70, Service corrections 30,000 Avios! |

You just can’t get rid of those pesky Avios can you😉
redemptions now :) |
November remains sparse, but a weekend to Bodrum and three separate weekends to London booked for random dates and that’s cleared out the pot for now

22:02 and the captain is back, we are off to Heathrow. Now if only the ruddy wifi was working! ETA is expected to be 23:00. Crazily this all works out in my favour as I was supposed to be on the 11:41 from Newcastle to London Kings Cross tomorrow morning! instead I get a lazy night in London. Also, I was supposed to be in Birmingham on business on Wednesday but that meeting has been moved, so I can scoot back to Newcastle on the train Tuesday evening. The ten minute to landing came at 22:30 and we were back where we started. Would you consider the LHR to LGW transfer for future endeavours? (Related, I was just offered compo for the involuntary rerouting on QR from Tokyo last week. You want to pay me to fly in Qsuites? Fine with me!) |

Love an unexpected twist to a trip, especially when a corporate entity is footing the bill! Makes for a great TR, too!

Do you ask the IFL to lodge a complaint on your behalf or log it yourself via the website?

More importantly, is it any good? And will you survive it?

Hello @JapesUK. Loved reading about all your adventures again! Just wondering if you were in the Union bar at the Gantry Hotel at Stratford with a group of colleagues on Monday late afternoon? Husband and I were staying there for the Newcastle v West Ham match and having a drink in the bar.
